What kind of underwear do y’all mess with?

I’ve always been a boxer brief man.

I like that snugness. I like to feel supported, you feel me? But regular briefs make me feel like I’m either 9 or 90 years old. They’re unflattering. They expose a little too much for my taste. That’s why boxer briefs are so perfect — you’ve got the snug support of a brief, the coverage of a boxer, and a slim profile offered by neither.

The underwear coming-of-age story generally looks something like this:

Age 0-11: Briefs. Because you don’t know any better and they’re cheap and your mom buys them for you. You’re wearing Fruit of the Loom if you’re lucky.

Age 12-16: Boxers. You heard a rumor at school that tight underwear will f*ck with your sperm count or your ability to get it up or other foolishness. You beg your moms for some silk NHL team-print Joe Boxers, and she comes home with some floppy plaid Jockeys, but you wear them anyway because you think that’s what you’re supposed to do.

Age 16-??: You realize that floppy boxers bunch up weirdly under your jeans, so you switch back to briefs. But now that you’ve grown and *filled out* a bit, they just feel weird. You feel disillusioned and lost. You’re not sure where to turn. You don’t know where to put your junk. Enter boxer briefs. Maybe you saw a homie in the changing room wearing them. Maybe you noticed them on a Calvin Klein ad in the subway. Either way, you have realized that boxer briefs are the only way to look like a grown-up while still keeping 90% of your clothes on the floor. You buy a few pairs of Calvins and feel great.

The boxer brief is surely the underwear choice of the distinguished man.

OK, so we’ve nailed down what cut of underwear is best.

But there are 1,000,000,000,000,000 brands of boxer briefs to choose from. Which one is best? Aren’t they all the same? Can’t you just get a 24-pack from Costco and call it a decade?

No, dear reader. You cannot. You absolutely cannot.

I’m gonna let you in on a little secret here. Don’t tell anyone, because if this shit blows up and my underwear of choice spikes in price or gets sold out, I honestly don’t know what I’ll do with my life. So keep this one under your lid, boys.

I’ve worn the classic brands for as long as I can remember. Calvin. Tommy. Polo. Whatever fit decently well and had a big logo on the waistband.

But then someone tipped me off about MeUndies. The price point is about right — $20/pair for boxer briefs (I didn’t even look at any other models TBQH) or $16/month for a new pair delivered to your door every 30 days. I don’t know how quick y’all are blowing through your boxers but a new pair every month would be very welcome in my household. I usually forget to cop new pairs until the old ones are literally hanging in pieces off my body, so the set-it-and-forget-it approach to underwear coppage sounds pretty sweet to me.

Convenience and business model aside, you gotta feel these things resting gently on your junk to truly understand ‘em.

Most conventional underwear is made from traditional fibers like cotton and elastane. They’re fine, but no more comfortable than a stretchy t-shirt.

MeUndies uses a material called “micromodal,” which is apparently harvested by grinding up beechwood trees into a fine pulp, running that pulp through some kind of big-ass machinery, then using a carbon-neutral method to extract the fibers.

Don’t know what that means? All good, neither do I.

Here’s what I do know:

Micromodal is insanely comfortable. Like, dumb comfortable. I honestly don’t know what I did before these things. You know when you go to an expensive hotel and the sheets are so soft that they feel almost, like, liquid? Like silk drenched in hand lotion or something? That’s the level of comfort we’re looking at here.

Imagine the smooth luxury of silk, the stretchiness of elastane, the breezy coolness of bamboo, and the structural support of cotton. Now imagine that magical fiber draped lovingly atop your nether regions.

Honest to god, walking around the office with these things swishing delicately under my jeans is a borderline sick pleasure that everyone should experience at least once. It feels like I’m breaching some kind of weird societal taboo — but nobody knows.

Beyond the material itself, the construction on MeUndies is top-notch as well. Every single seam is flat-locked, which means no ridges or bumpy seams. That’s the kinda stitching they use on Nike sweatshirts and other high-end sportswear: It’s designed for motion, comfort and ease of wear.

And the waistband. Oh, lord almighty, the waistband. According to MeUndies, it’s made from “a blend of Italian fibers including polyester, nylon, and lycra-elastane, tightly woven to create a silky elastic that stays flat and smooth on the skin.” Anything made in Italy is always a plus, but, for real, this waistband really hits the sweet spot.

IDK about you, but one of my biggest pet peeves in the entire universe is a shitty waistband. When waistbands are too loose, they flop and roll over, bunch up under your jeans or plainly don’t stay up. And if they’re too tight, you can’t breathe, move or even sit comfortably. So they really gotta be just right.

The MeUndies waistband is right on the money. It’s snug but not tight, and super comfortable. Just exactly what you want in a band.

Let's review:

MeUndies makes the best god-damned underwear to ever grace the temple that is my body.

So basically the world's underwear hierarchy goes a lil' something like this:

Every other underwear brand < MeUndies

Trust me, daddy: You want these on your junk.
